Default Wanted: dead 6 cylinder block

Hi, a strange request I know but I need an inline 6 block, preferably a 2.5 (with mounts if possible). It can be cracked, bores scoured whatever so long as its intact.

I'm in Kent and don't mind a reasonable drive to collect. Thanks

Hi Antz, I don't need really need anything other than the block so that'd be ok except 300 miles is a way to drive. I'll pm you if something else doesn't come up, perhaps I can have the block shipped with Nightfreight.

Does anyone else have a block for me please?

Ask the moderators to up your postcount.
Subsequently, you can post your phonnumber here if you want.

Hi Brodgar, Thanks for the headsup!

That would be close enough but I don't need a working block (unless it was really cheap)
